A few tricks I"ve discovered with the toys the dare provides and wanted to share... maybe others can add to the list.
1. The flash tends to cast a nasty blue hue to everything.... if you go and pick "sunny" on the wb setting (while balance), it will look great!
2. Pictures of sunsets "especially while driving" can be a challenge.
I used to try and use normal mode and would have to drop the light level down etc to get it to look rich and bold in the reds of the sky etc.
A better option is to simply to to "sports mode"..this will automatically drop the light level as well as clear up most blurrs from motion in the car.
Once in sports mode tweak the light level a tad with the adjustment bar on the left..... turn your resolution down at least one setting from max so your zoom will work.. turn zoom to max.
----------------------
If the sunset gets too dark.. go to night mode and turn down the brightness as night mode will make it too bright.... be cautious for blurrs .. you will have to keep the camera very still.
3. If in a theatre or show and want to get the best shot... set your camera to "spot" mode and turn the brightness down just a tad with the slide bar on the left. you can also turn your iso setting up if you like, but I didn't get too much better results with that.
Again, turn your resolution down at least one setting from max so your zoom will work.. turn zoom to max.
4. When using panorama mode... try to stand where your camera is in the shade to avoid sun aberrations on the lens as you turn different angles for the 3 shots.
Avoid angles where sun glare hits you in any way.
Avoid windy days or taking pictures of objects that move in the wind.
5. Don't use a flash when its not needed... the flash is too small unless for closeups as it will only cause distant objects to appear even darker than they would have without the flash... better to turn the iso up or use the brightness bar on the left to brighten the pic before the shot.
